Who here thinks that the Yahoo administrators limit the freedom of speech in a very liberal fashion? I mean, freedom of speech in their opinion is very very esclusive, very one sided and in all in all .... unfair.
Lets here your complaints about Yahoo limiting the type of answers you have the opprotunity to answer ...

They appear desperate for members! You can be a murderer, child abuser, thief-just about anyone. As long as you 'believe' then you're allowed in the club! No background checks required as long as you support the delusion. Is this correct?

High waisted, poorly fitted jeans are called "mommy jeans". People don’t want to get hair cuts that will make them look like "soccer moms" or drive cars that look like "mom cars". What does that mean? It seems people think that if you're a mother you are matronly, less stylish or drive a certain type of car, etc. Where does this misconception about being a mother come from?

I'd like to compile a collection of ghost stories from Arkansas. If you have any you've heard or experienced personally; please share! By the way, I already have lots on the Gurdon light, NLR High School, Henderson U, & Harding U!
Thanks!

I read that the health service in USA was considered at a low level by the world health org., worse than in Costa Rica, even if the USA medical research is at the top. Maybe because in USA health is considered a private business and not a human right and a public service, like, e.g., in Europe. What do you think of it? Do you think that things are going to change or the private interest of ensurance companies will still prevail in the USA government politics?

The messiah?
A prophet?
A wise man, but still a man?
Just another historical figure?
A fictional character in an ancient book of fairytales?

Obviously I'm looking for answers from everyone. :)

In response to my last question of why christians are bashed on this site. Half the answers dont make sense. First ? look how christians treat non christians. Well I believe if you are a true Christian you will serve other people and help each other. If you want my views on this type in christians? just wanted to clear up a few things then respond. You can say that about christians as well as non christians on how they treat each other you cant pick them out and just accuse them without accusing everyone. 2nd answer was you people try to shove everything down my throat. Seriously how many christians have come up to you and tried to convert you personally not what you have heard from society. I have never had anyone do this to me before i was a non christian. Not saying there arent some out there but as a true christian i bring the idea up to you if its not for you its your own free will to believe what you will.

Please explain this scripture to me:

Genesis 5:5-6
5 The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.

A lot of the questions and answers in R&S seem to be insulting toward others. Some point out a false inconsistency (straw men are quite common here), others resort to direct confrontation (even to the point of ad hominem) and still others ramble incoherently.

No one "group" is innocent in this forum and precious few individuals make a consistent effort to provide honest answers. I admit to my times of flippancy but am striving to add honest discussion to even the most careless question (I'll probably still have the occasional relapse so hold off any hypocrisy charge - I admit it freely here)

Fewer still, it seems, are the questions that truly seek information in R&S. I'll try to add to that, as well.

So let's hear it. Should courtesy and genuine inquisitiveness be given a chance to reign here in R&S?

I read in someones answer that Christ died for everyone - not just christians. If that is true, why do christians try to convert me and other non-believers? If I can have the benefits of forgiveness and salvation, why convert and believe in fairytales?

Setting aside the religious issues, what would happen if two future sovereigns decide to get married? For example, if Victoria of Sweden decides to marry William of Wales, or Albert of Monaco? Would they have to give up their claim to the throne? Is there any legal precaution set for this?

Christians - I understand your faith, really I do.

I don't believe it -

Why do SOME Christians continue to play the victim on YA? What is with all of these questions wondering why "everyone is against you." Nothing could be further from the truth.

I think most of us here can agree that each person is responsible for and entitled to believe what they find true.
Why do some people, Christians especially, think that they can judge what another person believes?
